The Comparison property specifies how AD FS 2.0 evaluates the authentication context classes in the References collection to determine how to authenticate the user. The relative strength of different authentication context classes is determined according to the order in which they are specified in the Authentication Context Order settings. For more information about the Authentication Context Order settings, see Supported SAML Authentication Context Classes and Strengths.
